Things needed: An intro. Overviews of subsections, unless mine are sufficient. Someone familiar with the last three sections to write those, and/or someone has to go through the current version and sort out which info goes with what. Again, the former is probably easier, but if no one wants to try, I guess I'll have to use the second method... Speaking of which, there has to be a better picture of the current anime Pokédex somewhere, right? If not I guess I'll just grab one... [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 15:48, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

A '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') is an invaluable tool to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it presents information over the different medias. However, they are also only given to a few trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill.
Pokédex entries are typically only two- or three-sentence bits of information about the Pokémon referred to. In some events it gives background information on the habitat or activities of this Pokémon in the wild; at other times it gives other bits of information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy.
We might want to add something about being created by Oak, but I can't think of how to do that without being awkward/hearkening straight back to anime stuff [[User:Salix|Salix]] 00:41, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
